Rawlings | GLOVOLIUM Glove Butter | Baseball/Softball | Butter

I had an old glove hanging around that was very dried out. It hadn't been used in decades. Did some basic pounding and bending of the leather. There's plenty of youtube videos on this. I rubbed this stuff in, then rolled it up tight with a softball inside. After a few days, I rubbed in another coat, repeating the process. The glove looks awesome now, and is very soft and supple. Anyone saying it's granular, yeah there's a bit of a granular texture to it, but I used my hands to apply the stuff. Maybe the warmth of my fingers melted the stuff as I rubbed it in. So, I would recommend applying it with your fingers. Don't use a brush or cloth. The other thing I wonder is whether some people are trying to apply it to gloves that are not real leather.

good stuff!

I have two different types of glove conditioners and this isn't my favorite. Definitely works, but takes a bit longer to work into the leather due to the texture of the balm.

I had used the liquid glovolium since I was a kid (late 1960s), but it’s been a while since I’ve oiled my gloves, and I the bottte has gotten kind of gross. I decide to try this and wow it is so much easier to apply. I just got some on a paper towel and rubbed it into the gloves. They feel better than they ever have, and there was no discoloration. Two thumbs up.

Used it on four different mitts (all new). Happy with the result in general. Application is quite easy. Does not leave bad odor.

I used it on my old Rawlings glove, which I bought in about 1975. It made the leather much softer. I also used it on the palms of my ice hockey gloves. It softened the leather too. The product works extremely well. I'm buying more.

Wish this were more of a paste, of like consistency to mink oil. I much prefer the way Rawlings gel applies, though I'm sure it doesn't quite help as much with break-in.

Does a nice job conditioning. I did two applications and I feel it helped break the glove in a bit faster. I don't particularly care about discoloration but the Gold Glove I have is a pretty light leather and there was not a lot of color change once the Butter dried. I also used it on an older mitt that had some cracking in the laces and drying in the fingers. It didn't work any miracles but the glove definitely felt healthier and more functional after the applications. This batch should last a while but I would buy again.
